This report is based mainly on collections in the Allan Hancock 

 Foundation of the University of Southern California (see also Hartman, 

 1940, for additional records) and other materials as indicated below. 

 In the GONIADIDAE, Goniadella is newly erected, Ophioglycera 

 Verrill is revised, two species, Glycinde polygnatha and Goniada littorea 

 are newly described, and the following are redescribed: Goniada brun- 

 nea, G. annulata, G. acicula, G. teres, Ophioglycera gigantea, Gonia- 

 della gracilis and Glycinde solitaria. New combinations include Ophio- 

 glycera eximia, O. foliacea, O. longicirrata, O. distorta, Goniadopsis 

 maskallensis and Goniadella gracilis; Goniada magna is referred to an 

 older species. 



In the GLYCERIDAE Hemipodus armatus is newly described; 

 Telake Chamberlin is referred to Glycera Savigny; Glycera canadensis 

 and G. epipolasis are new combinations, and Glycera spadix is referred 

 to an older species. 



In the NEPHTYIDAE the following species or subspecies are new- 

 ly described : Nephtys glabra, N. singularis, N. assignis, N. acrochaeta, 

 A glaophamus erectans, A. dicirris and A. rubella anops. Nephtys monroi 

 is a new name and the following species are revised: Nephtys impressa 

 and A glaophamus tabogensis. The genera Aglaophamus Kinberg and 

 Micronephthys Friedrich are recognized for additional species. Nephtys 

 macandrewi is referred to an older species. 



In the GLYCEREA, including the GONIADIDAE and GLY- 

 CERIDAE, and in the NEPHTYIDAE, the epithelial structures of 

 the proboscis are detailed and their specific importance demonstrated. 

 New interpretations are given for setal structures. 



I am indebted to the administrations of the following Institutions 

 for generous loans to examine holotype and other important materials: 

 to the Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, New 

 Haven for the loan of Ophioglycera gigantea Verrill and Goniadella
